Designed by a team of former AKG personnel, the Austrian Audio OC18 Dual Set Plus is a matched pair of large-diaphragm studio condenser microphones offering detailed audio capture that's ideal for stereo miking solo instruments, drum kits, and ensembles. The OC18's handmade 1" ceramic capsule features a gold-plated polymer membrane and a cardioid polar pattern, which yields reliable on-axis directivity with enhanced off-axis rejection. Being 48 VDC phantom powered, the OC18 does not require batteries or an external power supply.
Front-panel switches are provided for easy access to the pad and roll-off settings. Set the pad to -10 or -20 dB to avoid distortion when miking loud sources such as drums or guitar cabinets. Activate the high-pass filter at 40, 80, or 160 Hz for attenuation of low-frequency problems including rumble and proximity effect. The OC18's housing is constructed of zinc-aluminum alloy for strength and durability. The OC18 Dual Set Plus includes two shockmounts, two mic clips, a stereo bar, two windscreens for mitigating noise from breaths and blasts of air, and a protective carry case for easy transport and storage of the entire bundle.
